The movie "ALSIB." “The Secret Route” is a documentary film that addresses the true history of the Alaska-Siberia airway, which the Americans once said “either madmen or Russians can fly on.”
The Alaska-Siberia highway, or ALSIB, was opened in 1942 and operated until 1945. It served to deliver to the Soviet front fighters and bombers supplied under the Lend-Lease agreement from the United States to the Soviet Union. During the years of operation of the route, which passed through remote areas of the Far North of our country, almost 8,000 aircraft were transported, as well as tons of various cargoes - from food to mail. The existence of the route would have been impossible without the heroic work of Soviet pilots, flight radio operators and mechanics, who worked sometimes in unbearably difficult conditions. close

For many centuries, scientists, historians, theologians, artists have been trying to unravel the mystery of these unusual people - fools. The word "fool" is ancient Greek. Its root explains part of the meaning: "ouros" means "stupid." So the concept of folly is originally a negative meaning. But there is something paradoxical in the Russian tradition: the people have always revered these blessed madmen more than anyone else. People of this kind came with Christianity from Byzantium to Russia and took root in it. And then they became a specifically Russian phenomenon that did not spread in any other country in the world. True fools in Russia was not so much. A hundred or two. Sixteen of them were canonized by the church. close

Our planet is full of mysteries and mysteries, which official science can not yet answer. Numerous megalithic structures, the possibility of the construction of which by ancient scientists, no matter how hard they tried, could not be explained so far. Mysterious finds, testifying to the existence of someone who does not fit into the interpretation of science. There is an endless debate about the age of the Egyptian pyramids and who built them and why. Even the question of the age of the Earth is controversial. The creators of the documentary “Lies in the Name of Science” tried to piece together disparate theories that differ from the officially recognized ones and try to answer the question – are scientists always right?
In the film “Lies in the Name of Science”, numerous facts that do not coincide with the generally accepted opinion, but nevertheless take place, are gathered into a theory that, as the filmmakers hope, will be able to explain much of the inexplicable that is on Earth. An ancient race of people, huge skeletons of people and animals that may have lived in very ancient times – forget everything you were taught in school. Without claiming full reliability, the creators of the film “Lies in the Name of Science” offer viewers to get acquainted with this, far from universally recognized theory about the origin and development of our planet. close

How does art survive in a time of oppression? During the Soviet rule artists who stay true to their vision are executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky. He pretends to buy state-approved art but instead daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artist's works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Though a penniless artist himself, he cajoles the cash to pay for the art from the same authorities who are banning it. Savitsky amasses an eclectic mix of Russian Avant-Garde art. But his greatest discovery is an unknown school of artists who settle in Uzbekistan after the Russian revolution of 1917, encountering a unique Islamic culture, as exotic to them as Tahiti was for Gauguin. They develop a startlingly original style, fusing European modernism with centuries-old Eastern traditions. close
